If you're looking for a fast phobia cure you are a brave soul. Phobias are fears that are buried so deep in the psyche that many people feel that are incurable. However, this is not true. We fear what we believe will hurt us, and often this fear has been given to us by the thoughts and beliefs of others.
For instance, two little girls get bit by the same dog. One little girl grows up with a dog phobia but the other one ends up owning three dogs and even volunteers for rescue organizations, putting her in the midst of dogs with social problems. What is the difference? The beliefs that were given to each little girl right after the dog bite.
We fear something because we have been taught that being afraid of it would prevent us from experiencing it. We are afraid of water because we are afraid of drowning. If we see water as a death trap we are going to avoid it. If we see it as a fun place to play we might want to experience it. This means the more we fear it the more we will stay away from it.
Even those who have had close calls with a drowning or have known a friend who has sadly drowned can still look past the water as the culprit. This is not always easy but it can certainly be done. Usually a drowning has a cause.
Drunkenness is often up there on the top of the list. But if we believe that the water can get us, our fear will prevent us from ever finding ourselves in that situation, even if our fears are unfounded.
The biggest fear of all is the fear of death. This fast phobia cure is actually the easiest of them all. If you can stop being afraid of life you will stop being afraid of death. We only fear death when we feel that life has not been fully lived. Each fear we develop along the way is simply a belief coated in a blanket of the fears that others hold dear for us.
